2018 Country Rankdown (Finished)

[wavey.]

Lol surprised at Bebe, but then again I'm not.
It was a different vibe of country.

[ChicaCherry콜라]

Oh thank god my bottom two left already! If "Up Down" had gotten any higher than what number I put it at I would have thrown up. Morgan Wallen has no business in music. I hated him on the Voice and hate him even more now.
I thought Florida Georgia Line was a joke band for the longest time. Nothing from them has ever been anything other than repulsive to me. Their style of "country" is everything I hate about country, and their vocals, no thanks.
The rest of the songs are just meh. Although I am a Keith Urban fan, I like his early work. His new music is listenable, but I'm not all about it.

How about this happening for two reveals in a row

[House Lannister]

I knew my luck in this country rankdown was too good to last.

I found this one pretty solid.

But then again I have some of these people in my rankdown, and I did have a Garth Brooks song on it. So this result doesn't surprise me.

[bboat11]

Here are 10 songs! 5 of them will miss the top 100. 5 of them will not. Which ones are we about to lose???

Girl Like You - Jason Aldean
Break Up In The End - Cole Swindell
Somebody's Daughter - Tenille Townes
Kinda Don't Care - Justin Moore
All The Love You Left Me - Sara Evans
Three Chords And The Truth - Chase Rice
Simple - Florida Georgia Line
Downtown's Dead - Sam Hunt
Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset - Luke Bryan
Reckless Love - Jo Dee Messina

[ChicaCherry콜라]

I will raise hell if anyone put Sara in their bottom 10. If she goes next, watch yourself.

[Naos]

I'm so glad the pop "country" crap that is "Meant to Be" is gone. I hope Bebe Rexha goes to being irrelevant now.

I hate this song. Dylan Scott is horrid as a vocalist. Radio wouldn't let this slice of bro country sleaze song die. Goodbye and good riddance.

Have you heard him live?

Sure his material might be some of the most “bro” right now, but dude can flat out SANGGGG

My money would be on these three. Mainly because I kinda sorta decently like all of the other options.

Thought this would at least break the top 100. It's not bad, it got into my head more than a number of things here (I mean clearly lol).

[bboat11]

As correctly predicted by both bigfan101 and House Lannister, "Downtown's Dead" becomes one of the next songs to leave us. I think this is the first time in rankdown history that Sam Hunt hasn't had one of the most polarizing songs in a rankdown! The fact is, DD just isn't good enough to receive the same level of love that many of his other songs have received... This song somehow managed to destroy all his momentum despite the monumental high he was riding after "Body Like A Backroad" That takes a special kind of flop, right there.

I think this is a perfect way of looking at it. I was a big fan of Take My Time, but this just doesn’t invoke any sort of passion...for us, and not really for Sam either. Lol

[House Lannister]

The first time I heard Downtown's Dead, I got a headache from it. I blame the whistle (or whatever electronic thing passed for one).

To be honest, I liked some of Sam's early stuff.  But I started turning against him with Break Up in a Small Town.

"Three Chords And The Truth" is a damn good song, especially when you consider that Chase Rice is the one singing it. In fact, I think that him singing it is the only reason that it is leaving us in the bottom 15 of this rankdown... If somebody even marginally less-hated such as Luke Bryan sang it, it probably would have finished a good 30 positions higher than this.

[bboat11]

Now, go cleanse your palettes with the TRUE "Three Chords And The Truth".

Agree. This is payback for him being a DB

[Deleted]

You can remove my tag from the results, as I hardly even know most of the songs. Rooting for Tequila to win! Thank you anyways.

Again. Can not agree more. This is SUCH a good song. People let their (understable) Chase rice biases get in the way

[SHOOTER]

I like Hooked but not sad about any of these other losses (although I didn't mind TCATT either).

Take notes, Keith Urban... "Girl Like You" is a good example of how to do a weird pop electronic sound effect that leads the instrumentation of your song, without it sounding hellacious...

[bboat11]

This next one's gonna heart REALLY bad for someone, but a lot of you are probably not going to care very much...
